A Vancouver man is pursuing criminal charges against BC Hydro after he ended up with a smart meter he didn’t want.
Madeson Chase has at least half a dozen signs around his home saying “no trespassing,” to try and keep hydro installers off his property.
As well, his fence is spiked and he had wrapped his old meter in metal and attached two locks.
Chase says when he returned home from work he found the new meter installed.
“Yes, it’s been quite a shock and I’ve been outraged and I’ve just had the police come over to my home moments ago and they just left. I’m pursuing a police report and criminal charges with them.”
Chase says he’s concerned for his health because of the unproven safety of the new meters.
